Thanks also for sharing about your previous encounters with people of strong faith in their mental health. These people are a real inspiration.

“Health” and “well-being” are often mentioned in the same breath. From what you’ve said here, the well-being is more important than the mere “health”…

~ Alex from Our Evolution

You are so right. Time and time again, while I was in the military serving in places that many people have never heard of, I encountered people who by American Standards, shouldn’t have even been alive.

People crushed by starvation and eating weeds and the bark from trees. People with blunt force trauma amputations, that had been self treated by wrapping dirty clothing around the stump. People who didn’t know the meaning of luxury, careers or the easy life, but did know the meaning of survival and realizing that life is a thing to be treasured.

The mind is all powerful, and knowing this, there is no reason why we should be treating our bodies as foreign objects to be abused by making them run on poison.

I said to someone not long ago (and they got very angry at me) “If you wouldn’t fill you’re dogs bowl up with Captain Crunch, because its not good for the dog, why the hell would you fill you’re own child’s breakfast bowl with it?”

If we have the luxury of being able to access and afford nutritional food, why wouldn’t we take advantage of it?

Thanks for posting,
